Hundreds of Days

 Hundreds of days have passed since Bernice has been born (230). So much has happened and she has changed and grown so much.
You know that feeling you get when you go out to eat at a restaurant and you get the bill at the end? The feeling that maybe something might not add up right; you've been overcharged somehow.
That's the best example I can give you of the feeling I get when I look at these two pictures:

The first photo of Bernice, and the latest I took today (below, obvs).

I look back at all the photos we have taken of her, the hundreds of days documented and remembered. Vividly remembered. It's all there. It all adds up... somehow. All the changes, so gradual and yet so THERE. So visible.

It's sad and sweet. And I remember it all. I feel so blessed to say I remember it all.

Bernice is 3 Months Old!

Yesterday Bernice turned 3 months. I don't know how the time flew by so quickly. I am so happy to see how she is growing and thriving.

I love her chubby little cheeks, roly poly thighs and the little "rubber band" wrists and ankles she has. I love that she loves elephants, AC/DC, being outside, and primary colors.
I love how she smiles when she stretches and wakes up or when Shawn talks to her. She even giggled for the first time out loud on Tuesday as I was swishing her bath water around to make sure it was a good temperature. I cried and laughed, too.
I am so excited for her to continue growing, learning and falling in love with life.
